Evanescence

I really like this band,it's awesome.I can even say that this is my favorite band...Anyone knows where's to find their never-ment-to-be-released song called You?I heard there are ppl who own it,even though that song was not public(it's made for their close friends,cousins and family),but I'd really like to hear it...
I really like them,I like all their songs,but I'll list some that I find the best:
My Immortal,Haunted,Where will you go,Exodus,Bring me to life,Before the dawn,Lies etc.
Anyway,anyone here likes Evanescence?
If you do,what do you think of them,if you don't then what do you don't like about them,your fav song,etc?
Fell free to tell anything about them...

I like Evanescence. I always have. Their music isn't what you'd call groundbreaking or wonderfully spectacular, but it's a good listen. Their older stuff is great. My favorite song is October - such a wondeful, beautiful song! I adore it.

I've heard "You", and also have it on a cd. However, I only got it by downloading it. It's a very pretty song, but I can't listen to it more than once on account of the lyrics (kinda too low self-esteemy for me).

Their recent album didn't have much of an impact on me. "Call Me When You're Sober" is a catchy one, I like the beginning of "Lithium", and my favorite is probably "Lacrymosa". I guess I just prefer more of the Evanescence that wasn't all about "you dumped me".

The only downside to the band (to me) is the whole "goth image" thing. Amy is a beautiful woman, but I think she needs to toss the whole sterotype thing aside. Her voice speaks for itself. And yes, that style can be pretty, but it gets annoying sometimes. She has an incredibly amazing voice, and that should be first. However...

Yeah. Evanescence is...good. Some of their songs are great, some of their songs are great, and a few others are complete duds. I love their songs 'Snow White Queen' and 'Bring Me to Life.' And a few others, might I add. ^^"

Um, you obviously haven't seen their style. It's more fantasy/gothic than anything else. Evanescence is without a doubt NOT emo.

But I still say they should chunk it.

I agree Evanescence has never been emo ad if they did go emo thye would suck. Emo music is just rich kids complaining about how they hate their money or them selves or something. That is not Evanescence.

I would just like to say to everyone that says Amy Lee sucks live, I have seen Evanescence twice I thought both were amazing shows. Yes, Amy Lee messes up from time to time, but the thing is, if you guys attempted to get as high as she can get, you would most likely mess up every time. Every musician messes up.

As for the emo/goth thing. Amy doesn't need to scrap anything. She can dress however she wants and there is nothing stereotypical about how she dresses. Anyway, why does that matter if it doesn't effect the music.

For those saying that Evanescence are repetitive, listen to Bring Me To Life, Going Under, and Hello, then listen to Call Me When You're Sober, Snow White Queen, and Lacrymosa, after that listen to Field of Innocence, October, and Lies. Do this and tell me that. They are far from repetitive.

"It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy', which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do I wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go', like I am going to be happy."

Regardless of the mess-ups, I have seen bands that are way better live than Evanescence. I love her voice, and I think the range of it is absoultely beautiful, but to me, it seems lost when she attempts it in concert. *shrug* That's just my opinion.

True, I guess it doesn't really affect the music. I just don't like it when a band promotes a certain image. I really think music should be about music. There's nothing wrong with style, but I think playing dress up should go to artists that don't have more to offer. Evanescence has good music and Amy has a wonderful voice. That's all that should draw someone into listening to them. Instead, you have silly little teenagers who flock to buy their cds and shirts because they think they're being "cool" and "gothic". Those kids wouldn't give a second thought to the band if they dressed normally. I guess that's what really annoys me. And you're kidding yourself if you think there's nothing even slightly sterotypical about their image.

And about the repetitive thing, not all of their songs sound the same. Just some. I can see where someone would say that they sound the same though. Her piano works do have a tint of identicality, and the guitar riffs on some of the songs on Fallen sound only one or two notes apart. It's still good music all around though.

I never liked them. Not because I though they weren't talented or anything, I just don't like their sound. Though I do think Amy Lee is super pretty. She sort of embodies the whole neo-goth thing she's got going on.
